Enlisted Deserves A Fighting Chance

"Enlisted" is a show that never got a fair shot. It was shown at May upfronts in 2013 but it did not air until January of 2014. When it did air, it was moved to a Friday death slot. Then the Olympics happened and it was off for several weeks. Once it started finding it's groove, it was cancelled before the last 4 episodes were aired. Some shows need to be nutured. The XFiles started with a small fan base and grew into a cult hit for 10 years. Nielsen's do not properly reflect the viewing habits of people. This show is a hit with military people, yet their viewership does not count either. Enlisted has a rabid social media presence. Even after it was cancelled, Charmin and Applebees ran a contest for people who were watching Enlisted during a specific time period. It was a hit. We hope that other networks will see the value in this show, the M*A*S*H of this century, and give it a season 2.
